APC Includes Wike, Soludo, Adeleke, Yobo In Revised Presidential Campaign Council List

The All Progressives Congress unveiled a revised Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections on Tuesday, appointing Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke as regional coordinators.
This expanded list follows an August controversy over the council's composition; the Presidency clarified that the initial list remained valid, though adjustments were necessary to complete the campaign structure and constitute subcommittees.
All 32 APC governors were appointed as state coordinators for the presidential campaign, while the party additionally named 14 advisers to the council to support mobilization and stakeholder engagement efforts.
The appointments are notable because Wike remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party , while Soludo belongs to the All Progressives Grand Alliance , reflecting a cross-party strategy for regional campaign oversight.
APC National Secretary Senator Ajibola Basiru confirmed the council will be inaugurated on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, marking the official launch of campaign activities.
